Re: AT&T and having two BGP peers

All,

Thanks for the help.  I just got word that AT&T approved the two BGP
peering with us.  I think telling them others have done it with AT&T
helped.

Much appreciated.

I know this should have been negotiated before signing a contract but
I was unfortunately not in the loop... :(

It seems like a ridiculous bureaucratic restriction.
